[Intro]
G   C   G   C
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
First time I was so into him, I didn't care
C
I thought, "hell, I've been drunk too, yeah, I've been there"
G
When everybody's on a party high, the bar is set real low
C
He seemed like everybody else, how was I supposed to know?
      Am7
That "I'll have one"
             D
Always means one too many
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em                   G
Then it's holes punched in the wall
 C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
       Em7           C
Crying in a bathroom stall
            G
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
    Em         G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He'll come over and apologize
             G/B   Am7
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
    C                               Cm
But you know the truth is that he's just
                   G     C
The boy who cried drunk
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
And for a week, he'll be the man you want him to be
C
Treat you better than he ever has
C
So you don't wanna leave
Am
You keep trying to save him
    D          G        D
But that's why he ain't changing
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em                   G
From holes punched in the wall
 C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
       Em7           C
Crying in a bathroom stall
            G
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
    Em         G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He'll come over and apologize
             G/B   Am7
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
    C                               Cm
But you know the truth is that he's just
                  Em
The boy who cried drunk

[Bridge]
Am7
He'll keep crying drunk 'til
C
You stop giving in to
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                   G
Holes punched in the wall
 C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
        Em               C
Crying 'cause he lost it all
       G
And he knows you ain't coming back again
    Em             G
And he'll wake up, swollen red eyes
C
No one left to apologize to
              Am7
'Cause you've finally had enough
    C                                Cm
And you know, the truth is that he's just
                  G
The boy who cried drunk
